Qantas prepares non-stop Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights to Paris, Frankfurt

Qantas, the flag carrier of Australia is preparing for the ultra-long-haul non-stop flight to Paris, France, and Frankfurt, Germany with its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline began a non-stop long-haul flight in March 2018 in which 787 Dreamliner conducted a non-stop flight from Perth to London.

Qantas will conduct repatriation flights to London, Paris, and Frankfurt in December 2020 and January 2021. The flag carrier known as Spirit of Australia will bring Australian citizens stranded in the UK and Europe. These flights will be managed in coordination with Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

Qantas is allowed to charge airfares on each flight’s outbound leg from Australia while the DFAT is assisting the Australians flying from the UK and Europe to their home country.

“As the national carrier, we’re proud to operate selected flights on behalf of the Australian Federal Government to bring more people home during this unprecedented time,” the airline says.
